7 плевка не стоит
прост.cf. not worth a damn (a hang, a button, a bean, a curse, a pin, a fig, a straw)- Любой гвардейский юнкер в вашем положении минуты бы не задумался, потому что оно плевка не стоит; а вы, человек умный, образованный, не хотите хоть сколько-нибудь возвыситься над собой, чтоб спокойно оглядеть как и что... (А. Писемский, Тысяча душ) — 'No junior guardsman in your position would hesitate for a moment, for the whole thing is not worth a curse. And you, a clever, educated man, are unable to rise above yourself for a single moment, to look around you dispassionately.'
